E eu diria que é uma teoria de baixíssima qualidade. Mas isso não impede que tresloucados econômicos emprestem adesão a esse novo instrumento de gastança ilimitada por políticos e profissionais pouco comprometidos com a governança responsável.

From: Lawrence Goodman, President, Center for Financial Stability
I had the pleasure of presenting "Monetary Policy Paradigm Shifts" as well as delivering conference summary remarks at a discussion hosted by the Shanghai Development Research Foundation (SDRF). The conference hosts beautifully structured the inquiry regarding monetary policy across three areas. Corresponding conclusions follow:
- "Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)" is neither modern nor monetary. It is theory. CFS has avoided discussing this topic; however, threads seem to be drifting into mainstream thinking. MMT has already been tried and performed poorly. Our assessment rests on studies and empirical evidence including Gail Makinen's "Studies in Hyperinflation & Stabilization" published by CFS in 2014.
- "Fundamental changes in theory and policy today" are a function of three policy miscalculations since 2002. Monetary mistakes in the past have paved the way for more experiments and the surfacing of ideas such as MMT.
- "The effect on global markets and economies" is to skew incentives for savers and investors, distort market signals, and limit growth.
Although tricky, a slow and careful restoration of normalcy is essential. It is today's critical constrained maximization problem.
